Review: Hold You Against Me by Skye Warren

June 23, 2016 by Mandi Leave a Comment

Hold You Against Me by Skye Warren (Stripped #4) Released: May 31, 2016 Dark Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've been a fan of Skye Warren books for some time now - going to them whenever I'm craving a dark book. Sometimes she writes really, really dark and it's too much, but I found Hold You Against Me to be dark - but not too dark. Clara and her sister Honor were born into the mafia and their father who is boss is a strict man. Clara has a little rebellion in her though, Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday

October 26, 2014 by Mandi 3 Comments

Hero: Grayson. Convicted cop killer. Tortured, broken soul. Will he ever find love?  (or escape prison?) Heroine: Abby. College sophomore. Teaches an english class to prisoners. Will SHE ever find love? (with a prisoner?) (while kidnapped)  (It's verra naughty)   I look down at her, running my fingertips gently between her palms. It’s a sensitive place, her hands and mine. Warm with our shared heat. But nothing compared to how my dick will feel. “You’re not just going to touch Continue Reading

Review: Prisoner by Annika Martin and Skye Warren

October 23, 2014 by Mandi 3 Comments

Prisoner by Annika Martin and Skye Warren Released: October 23, 2014 Dark Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi They say there are two types of fear - the kind that has you running far, far away, and the kind that shakes you so deeply that you can't look away. For me, Grayson is the second kind of fear. I got pretty excited when I heard Annika Martin (aka Carolyn Crane) and Skye Warren were collaborating to write a dark, intense book that features a hero in prison and Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday–Beauty Series by Skye Warren

June 16, 2013 by Mandi Leave a Comment

I love the beauty and the beast trope. Something about a scarred, tortured hero and the woman who makes him feel whole. I also am always quite intrigued by Skye Warren’s voice. She usually writes very dark erotica, but this series is lighter. This will be a four book series, but I’ve only read the first two. I believe book three releases this week. First let me say these are VERY short. Beauty Touched the Beast is less than 30 pages I believe. I read it long ago when it was a free read on Continue Reading

Review: Wanderlust by Skye Warren

May 22, 2013 by Mandi 1 Comment

Wanderlust by Skye Warren Dark erotica April 14, 2013 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi “Not all those who wander are lost.” I kept coming back to those seven words as I read this story. I’ve read three Skye Warren books, and each one has disturbed me, made me cringe at times but yet gets me thinking. She is a good writer who pushes the dark boundaries. And I mean really, really pushes them. I ended Wanderlust with very confused feelings, which I was expecting. To be Continue Reading

Review: Hear Me by Skye Warren

October 18, 2012 by Mandi 2 Comments

Hear Me by Skye Warren (Dark Erotica #3) Erotic Novella Released: September 15, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Earlier this year I read Trust in Me (I can’t remember who rec’d it to me, but someone did and thank you!) self published by Skye Warren. I liked its really dark erotic content. When she offered me her latest, Hear Me for review, I grabbed it. However, Hear Me is even more extreme in its dark content and I’m honestly not sure how I feel about it. First let me Continue Reading

Review: Trust In Me by Skye Warren

August 15, 2012 by Mandi 4 Comments

Trust in Me by Skye Warren (Dark Erotica #2) Erotic Contemporary/Erotica February 14, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I’m very attracted to books that are dark, disturbing and erotic and my friend Sophia knows this, so when she heard about Trust in Me, I ended up with a gift on my Kindle. The book starts with a note from the author in which she states, “I must warn you that this is a disturbing tale, one that starts dark and gets darker.” She goes on to warn of nonconsensual Continue Reading
